Let me assure you of one fact. Bacteria are EVERYWHERE! They are on your skin, in your mouth, any body openings, your intestines, and all other kinds of interesting places. Most bacteria is harmless to humans, and in many cases it is helpful. Bacteria is used to make cottage cheese, yogurt, and regular cheeses. So no, unless you are a very sick person, and your immune system is very weak, bacteria for the most part are nothing to worry about.
Not at all
yes you should be concerned about mold on the skin. they are not natural flora.
You can find bacteria on your skin, in your digestive tract, in your throat, and in every other part of your body, but it is the bacteria in your intestines that we are concerned with here. It is generally believed that having bacteria in your body is harmful to you and that it will cause you to become ill, but this is not so. The truth is, your body needs bacteria in order to survive.
because it's not normal for someone to have mold on skin...
Dermatology is the field of medicine concerned with human skin.
Bacteria on the skin created odour.
You should not find dangerous bacteria in any sterile environment. You should find no bacteria in that environment at all. And where is that: inside your body that has no outlet to the outside. In your blood, heart, joints, brain, nervous system, beneath your skin-all are sterile. The instruments that the surgeon uses, the bandages that are used or even band aids that are still in a sealed package. Canned food is sterile.
They are there every where in and outside the body. They are there in your colon. They are there in your mouth and nose. They are there on your skin.
Dry skin can crack, allowing the bacteria to get below the surface of the skin.
no, unless the immune system is compromised
The bacteria that feed on dead skin cells are called "commensal bacteria." They play a role in maintaining healthy skin by helping to regulate the skin's microbiome.
It is undesirable to remove bacteria from the skin because some of the bacteria is good bacteria and is part of our body's natural protection.
